Apr 29, 2026It will take quite a bit of time to learn the controls and get used to the visual style this game has. But, once you do, you will find yourself trying to finish the game. It’s not going to be a game for everyone, especially due to its weirdness and strange story. But it’s an artistic game, and one that brings a sense of self-expression, while also embracing horror in a way that I think is quite satisfying. Yes, it needs more polish and guidance when it comes to the lore and story, however it's a solid effort, especially as a first release from the studio.

Jan 7, 2026While there were beautiful elements to Ayasa: Shadows of Silence, like the striking visuals and interesting soundscape, the issues with performance, falling through the map, and mapping made some sections more frustrating than enjoyably challenging. If you’re a die-hard Little Nightmares or Tim Burton movie fan, you may still find some enjoyment with Ayasa: Shadows of Silence. The world it portrays is admittedly intriguing, but the performance and overall experience didn’t feel great.
